Abstract
Summary. The results of treatment of 102 patients with infiltrative cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis and treatment failure have been analyzed in this article. Of them, 49 patients underwent implantation of endobronchial valve, 53 patients received a standard therapy and were as comparators. We monitored the patients' lung function during hospitalization and then at follow-up period. Implantation of endobronchial valve led to insignificant (< 10 % of the baseline) and reversible decrease in both lung volumes and airflow rates.
